Purchase decision brief

Buying IPv4 addresses starts with a qualified block, not a generic price

There is no universal live price for IPv4 addresses. Define the exact requirement, review the transfer path and dated evidence, then browse current supply or submit a target for a proposal with stated assumptions and next steps.

Define the block
State the address count or acceptable CIDR, target RIR, receiving organization, intended use, geography, routing model, and timing.
Compare complete cost
Separate the listing or proposal amount from transfer fees, registry charges, routing and authorization work, payment terms, and acceptance conditions.
Check the transfer path
Confirm recipient eligibility, holder authority, source and destination policy, and dated routing and reputation evidence; a listing is not approval.
Choose the next step
Browse a matching public listing when one exists, or submit your target using the purchase form. Availability, pricing, approval, and timing remain subject to verification.

Buyer due diligence

An address block is more than its price per IP

Use a listing to start the review. Verify the resource, counterparty, transfer path, and operating conditions independently before deciding that a block fits.

Registry eligibility
Confirm the current RIR, receiving organization, applicable transfer policy, and any membership or justification requirements.
Holder authority
Request evidence that the seller can initiate the transfer. i.lease does not warrant title, authority, or transferability.
Reputation evidence
Review dated checks, their sources and scope, and unresolved abuse history. A single “clean” label is not a substitute for your own review.
Routing handover
Agree who maintains ROAs, route objects, LOAs, rDNS, geolocation, and the routing change window after transfer.
Commercial terms
Separate the bid or buyout amount, fees, payment conditions, transfer costs, approval dependencies, and acceptance evidence.

Purchase workflow

Move from a network requirement to an accepted transfer

The buyer and seller transact directly. i.lease provides the marketplace workflow and administrative coordination; registry decisions and transaction outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. 01

    Submit your purchase target

    Tell us the quantity, preferred RIR, budget and timing. After submission is confirmed, keep your request reference and private tracking link; you do not need an account to start.

  2. 02

    Follow sourcing and compare proposals

    Check the tracking page for progress and next steps. Review the buyer total, fees, resource status and validity date. A reference estimate or a proposal awaiting sourcing is not an executable quote.

  3. 03

    Review and express your interest

    Share a read-only proposal for internal review. Accepting an available, unexpired executable quote records your interest; company authorization, signing and payment are separate steps.

  4. 04

    Continue through the linked transaction

    Once a transaction is linked, open it from your request to complete the required account checks, signing, payment and transfer steps. Independently verify registry completion and operational handover against the agreed acceptance and settlement terms.

Ownership decision

Buy when long-term control justifies the transfer work

Buying can fit durable network capacity and ownership plans, but it also carries registry, due-diligence, routing, reputation, and lifecycle responsibilities.

Need capacity without acquiring the block?

Compare managed IPv4 leasing when your demand is temporary, phased, or better matched to an operating term.

Buyer questions

What to confirm before buying IPv4 addresses

Requirements differ by resource, counterparty, and registry path. Treat these answers as a starting point and verify the facts for the transaction you are considering.

  • Do I need an RIR organization or Org ID to buy an IPv4 block?

    The receiving-organization and justification requirements depend on the target RIR and transfer path. Confirm them before bidding; an account or listing alone does not establish eligibility.

  • Can an IPv4 block move between RIR regions?

    Only when the source and recipient registry policies support the path, the resource is eligible, and both organizations meet the applicable requirements. Verify the specific inter-RIR route before relying on it.

  • How long does an IPv4 transfer take?

    There is no guaranteed timeline. Documentation, counterparty response, compliance review, and RIR processing can all affect completion and approval.

  • Does i.lease verify ownership or guarantee a listing?

    No. Public listings can change or close, and i.lease does not warrant ownership, title, authority, transferability, registry approval, pricing, or transaction success. Buyers must complete their own review.

Start your IPv4 purchase request

Send your required RIR, block size, intended use, geography, routing model, timing, and budget for review. Account and compliance checks follow when a suitable path is identified; public availability can change or be empty.
